Need a recommendation for a carry class in Claremore

My father-in-law now wants to take the carry class and get his license. I have talked to him many times about why I carry and he seems to be ready for the class. I doubt he will carry, except in his car, but still, another gun in the right hands is a good thing. He won't leave the Claremore area, so I need to get recommendations for a class in or very near Claremore. He is 86, so anyone good with older folks would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Is a class really required? While not a "carry" case, I think it cracks open the door for argument -- and this is a DC case

“..Attend a firearms training or safety course providing "a total of at least one hour of firing training at a firing range and a total of at least 4 hours of classroom instruction." § 7-2502.03(a)(13)(A)… All of these requirements, such as the mandatory five hours of firearm training and instruction, § 7-2502.03(a)(13)(A), make it considerably more difficult for a person lawfully to acquire and keep a firearm, including a handgun, for the purpose of self-defense in the home — the "core lawful purpose" protected by the Second Amendment, Heller, 554 U.S. at 630…. With respect to ..7-2502.03(a)(13)(A)…the judgment is vacated and this matter is remanded to the district court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion…”Dick Anthony Heller, ET AL., Appeallants v.

That case is about a license being required to own and keep a firearm in your home. No such requirement exists in Oklahoma. A license is required to carry a concealed or unconcealed handgun in public in Oklahoma. In order to get said license, one must submit a certification that this course was successfully completed.
